    Targeted for Tyranny: We’re All Suspects Under the Government’s Pre-crime Program

    We’re all being targeted now. We’re all guilty until proven innocent now. And thanks to the 24/7 surveillance being carried out by the government’s spy network of fusion centers, we are all now sitting ducks, just waiting to be tagged, flagged, targeted, monitored, manipulated, investigated, interrogated, heckled and generally harassed by agents of the American […]

  • The Flawed Moral Logic of the New York Times on the Flawed Moral Logic of Sending Cluster Munitions to Ukraine

    The Flawed Moral Logic of the New York Times on the Flawed Moral Logic of Sending Cluster Munitions to Ukraine

    On Monday the New York Times argued in favor of continuing the war and supplying weapons for the war in Ukraine but not cluster bombs: However compelling it may be to use any available weapon to protect one’s homeland, nations in the rules-based international order have increasingly sought to draw a red line against use […]

  • Norman Finkelstein: A National Treasure?

    Norman Finkelstein: A National Treasure?

    Among the most dangerous people in the US are those who actually once fervently believed the foundational myths of the country’s social and political order. It’s the true believers — we who are schooled on republican virtues, democratic procedures, universal equality, and fair play that are said to be deeply embedded in the US experience […]

  • Nauru’s Refugee Stain: Australia’s Continued Offshore Processing Regime

    The last refugee, for now, has left the small, guano-producing state of Nauru.  For a decade, the Pacific Island state served as one of Australia’s offshore prisons for refugees and asylum seekers, a cruel deterrent to those daring to exercise their right to seek asylum via the sea. Since July 2013, 3,127 people making the […]

  • Doing Nothing? In a Trance? Recipes for the End of Humanity

    From time to time, I read articles defying any semblance of rationality. They are, in a nutshell, absurd and some frightening. My immediate impulse to rebut is thwarted because I either missed the deadline to respond or no opportunity to comment exists. This article is my opportunity to rebut! I bear no malice toward the […]

  • The Frankenstein Chatbots are Erupting

    Rick Claypool is a level-headed policy analyst and number-cruncher for Public Citizen, who is known for reporting the decline in corporate crime enforcement with each succeeding Presidency.

  • Traitor to the Constitution: The U.S. Government Is the Real Criminal

    Traitor to the Constitution: The U.S. Government Is the Real Criminal

    The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable. — H.L. Mencken, “Le Contrat Social” in: Prejudices: Third Series […]

  • Norman Solomon’s War Made Invisible Refutes Collusion with War Makers

    Norman Solomon’s War Made Invisible Refutes Collusion with War Makers

    Following a string of U.S. “forever wars,” a profusion of well-written, often riveting novels, memoirs, and analyses have been published. Talented authors have aimed to promote understanding about the human cost of war. In the same period, mainstream media sources have continually developed ways to make war appear normal –something necessary, justifiable, or in some […]

  • Ben Roberts-Smith: The Breaking of a Plaster Saint

    It was an ugly case lasting five years with a host of ugly revelations.
